Re: Stanford University moves to Office 365 and Exchange

Great blog. Next step should be data integration of the new Cloud, e.g. sync from organization's backend systems like databases, file shares etc. to make the data available for SharePoint / Exchange collaboration and mobile access (BYOD) via Layer2 Cloud Connector for Office 365.

Another one is the Layer2 Auto Tagger. It offers a simple but powerful rule-based approach for real-time metadata assignment (e.g. during document upload) and also bulk-tagging (e.g. after migration). Web Parts for metadata navigation (tree-style, glossary style), display of related content based on metadata and tagging of external content are available as well.

Re: Das Wirtschaftswunder für Ideen in der eigenen Organisation

Da haben Sie völlig Recht: Ein wenig Wirtschaftswunder-Politik unternehmens-intern würde oft helfen. Seltsam, dass über solche Dinge immer nur im Außenverhältnis zu Kunden und Lieferanten nachgedacht wird, seltener für intern…

Re: Hybrid Clouds for SharePoint: Great, but Not for Everyone

fdaske — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:42:02 -0000

Hybrid clouds needs to be integrated to have the full benefit. In many cases data sync is an option to share content, local-to-cloud, or cloud-to-cloud as well. In case of Office 365 you can use e.g. this one to sync almost everything with SharePoint Online (and back), e.g. database content, file shares etc.

Re: SharePoint 2013: 5 Reasons Why the New App Model Will Make Everyone Happy

fdaske — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 06:38:14 -0000

With the new SharePoint app model vendors must implement their business logic in simple HTML/JavaScript (almost inpossible) or completely outside SharePoint, e.g. in Windows Azure. In many cases that means, customer data must be transferred to any 3rd party to process. I'm not sure, if this is what customers really wants. As an ISV we will continue to support both models, on premise and the new app model to allow the customer a choice that fits requirements; e.g. with external data integration:

Re: Do I Still Need an Add-on for Taxonomy in SharePoint 2010?

fdaske — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:41:03 -0000

@Paula: You are right, but why not take a look also at the tools - to see, what else you can do with taxonomies today ;-) e.g. taxonomy management with export, import, update, SKOS integration, tag rules, term suggestions, auto tagging, tag navigation, tag directories, glossary, related content display and much more...

There are lots of other 3rd party extensions and connectors for Office 365, e.g. the "Cloud Connector for Office 365" to connect almost any on-premise enterprise data, e.g. SQL databases, files or on premise SharePoint.

Re: Sneak Peek of SharePoint 2010 and Access Services from WPC09

fdaske — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:20:10 -0000

A more simple approach - even for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 - is also available:

The SharePoint Business Data List Connector (BDLC) provides the complete read-only features of a common SharePoint list for almost any external data sources in 3 simple steps only:

- enter connection string
- enter select statement
- choose primary key(s)

Then your data are in a real SharePoint list. Updates are done in backround very fast (batch update, changed data only). So you have all list features available, e.g. notifications and workflows to take business actions, if external data records are changed.
